■ THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1953 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE ORIOSIDENT Eisenhower has * made the move predicted by observers in Washington, namely, •xerted his influence to save his program and his leadership. The move was made because little legislation has gone to the President for signature and time is growing short. Congress would like to go home in August and the White House is willing if legisla tion enactment gets back on schedule. The big question has been tax reduction which the President does not want. Fighting him on this issue has been Daniel A. Reed, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. The President took an old and proven way of exerting his in fluence. He took his side of the story to the people in a nation-wide television program. His course: firmly aga'inst any tax reductions r before next January. It is now generally believed the President will get his way. « Sen. Robert A. Taft has given William F. Knowland of California the job of senate majority leader, although “Mr/ Republican” has made it clear he will still issue the orders and expects Senator Know- land to carry them out. Taft will keep the title, power and prestige of the post, but by naming the Californian as his work horse, the Ohio senator has indi cated his choice as a successor. The move was made because of Taft’s health. • The official announcement that the nation’s wheat supply will reach the surplus level unless there is an unforseen major develop ment brings another problem to Secretary of Agriculture Benson for solution. It means that the secretary, a foe of government controls, faces the prospect of putting restrictions -marketing quotas—on wheat. Growers have approved 1954 con trols for tobacco and peanuts. Cot ton may also hit the surplus class. There is also a possibility that com supplies may hit the surplus mark. If these tilings materialize it will mean that Benson may have to apply crop restrictions on more items in a single year than any of his predecessors. The report forecast a wheat crop of 1,132,500,000 bushels this year. This is about 232 million bushels above the level which might per mit an escape from quotas. With a reserve of 575,000,000 bushels from previous crops, the nation has a prospective record wheat supply of more than 1,700,000,000 bushels. • Washington sources are warn ing mothers and fathers of men fighting in Korea not to expect their sons, husbands and brothers home the next day if a peace is signed. It will take several months to get the plan into full operation and some may have to remain on duty in that war-torn country many months. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER REDS LIFT AUSTRIA BAR ...

What is the. purpose of the Bermuda conference? A. This is to be a conference between President Eisenhower, Winston Churchill, and a repre sentative of France. At the time this is being written, the French representative has not yet been chosen. In view of the time lag between writing the answezs to these questions and the date they are printed, the representative will undoubtedly be selected and the date for the conference set by the time you read this. The purpose of the Bermuda conference is to plan a successful defense against Communist ag gression and thereby promote the cause of world peace. Q. Will Russia be represented at the Bermuda conference? A. Not directly. Obviously, of course, Russia will attempt to get her agents and sympathizers on the staffs of the three countries represented. She will attempt to inject Russian thinking into this conference in such a way as to bring the greatest possible gains to Russia. At this time it is im possible to know whether she will attempt to frighten the Western powers or try to put them to sleep by giving the appearance of being willing to appease and work to ward world peace. In this connection, it should be remembered that men like Alger Hiss, Laurence Duggan (who either jumped or was thrown to his death), Frank Coe (who re fuses to state whether he was a Communist agent), Harry Dexter White, Philip Jessup, Owen Latti- more, John Stewart Service, Lau- chlin Currie and Dean Acheson, successfully advised and shaped the course of action taken by the previous administration, which re sulted in almost unlimited damage to America and success to Com munist Russia. For that reason, it is extremely important that the staff members who accompany the President, should, under no circumstances he any of the old Acheson policy ad visors. Only Americans should stand guard with our President at Bermuda. It is also very important that the president and his staff at Bermuda know the background of the British and French represen tatives of the conference. The United States will, naturally, have no say in their selection, but our representatives can be guided and Mrs. C. Mower Singley enter tained with a bridge luncheon at her home in Columbia, Thursday morning, June 25, complimenting her mother-in-law, Mrs. P. C. Sing- ley. Members of Mrs.. P. C. Sing- ley’s bridge qlub ^and the mem bers of the club of Mrs. Mower Singley, when she lived in Pros perity motored to Columbia for this lovely affair. Lovely arrangements of gladioli added their beauty to the Singley’s new and attractive home. After several progressions, prizes were presented to Mrs. P. E. Wise for high score; Mrs. J. S. Wheeler, second high; Mrs. A. R. Chappell, bingo; and Miss Ef- fie Hawkins, floating prize. Mrs. alerted by a thorough knowledge of their past performances. For example: Where do they stand on the is sues at Yalta, Teheran and Pots dam? Where do they stand on admis sion of Red China to the U. N? What is their background on trade treaties and formal recogni tion of Red China? What personal relationships and contacts have they had with their opposite numbers in the Russian or satellite regimes? What have their public utter ances been on points dealing with Communist regimes? ' Q. What part will or should the Congress take In the Bermuda conference? A. The very least the Congress can do is to insist that “open cov enants, openly arrived at” will be the program rather than another secret agreement like those of Yalta, Teheran and Potsdam. Q. What do you think about Syngman Rhee’s release of the 27,000 anti-communist prisoners of war?? A. I feel strongly he not only had the right but the duty to re lease those prisoners. Keep in mind that he did not release Chinese Communist prison ers. He released young Korean men who wanted to .fight against the Communists. It Is inconceiv able that he would agree to hav ing them cooped up in prisoner of war compounds and, as pro posed by the UN truce team, lec tured for months by Chinese Com munists and then released only if the five nation team could not agree on their disposition. The five nation team consists of two nations friendly to the tree world, namely, Switzerland and Sweden; two iron curtain nations, Poland and Czechoslavkia and a fifth nation, India, who has rec ently sided more often with the Communist viewpoint than ours. India, it should be remembered, has recognized Red China and has urged that Red China be admitted to the United Nations. Under the circumstances, an honorable man such as Syngman Rhee had no al ternative in the matter. or milk, the food that provides the ether Is: (s) beef; (b) oysters; <©) per wee invented by: (a) Spaniards; (b) te. 2.

Singley and Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Callahan. Miss Phyllis Wise returned home Sunday from a few days’ visit with her aunt, Mrs. Charles Summer brought many delights to us kids in the stone hills. For we had to make our fun, and sum mer had so many things. The common June bug was very useful to us. We’d chase ’em around the yard there, trying to beat the chickens to them. The chickens got most of them, but we got some. We’d tie a small thread to one of their back legs and ’em buzz around us in circles. Even tually the thing would tire and drop to the ground or light on us. Ocossionally, while one was resting, a sly old chicken would steal up and get him. Then we had to chase the chicken down to get our string back. When Zeke and I were quite small, once we got some tumble- bugs we thought were June bugs. But they wouldn’t do right. And when the older boys found us with them, we never heard the last of it. At all seasons we rode sticks for horses. With a string tied to the front of it, we imagined that was the bridle. And we ran for endless miles riding those things. And to carry the illusion out a little farther, we smaller ones would ride double with the larger boys, just like we did behind the grown folks on real horses and mules. One thing we coveted was an old iron buggy tire. The black smith at the foot of the hill would occasionally have one worn too thin for any other use, and he would give it to one of us. We fixed a hand stick with a notch in it and with that we pushed that tire around at a lively clip. We would push that thing so much we’d wear that stick out. And we would get real proficient at it. We could make that rolling tire go anywhere we wanted it to ; Little things, all of these were. But they brought employment and delights to barefooted country kids in our time.
